In 1990, it was time for Edie Brickell & New Bohemians to release their second album, Ghost of a Dog. Their debut album, Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars, was a blockbuster, but also, that put a lot of pressure on the band to follow up that unexpectedly successful album.
Which, in my opinion, they did brilliantly. I personally think the 2nd album was better than the 1st. Unfortunately, it didn't sell nearly as well, and ended up, at least temporarily, breaking up the band.
This song was the lead single from the 2nd album, and while it got a fair bit of MTV airplay, it didn't lead to a whole lot more than that. Still, the song is complex and interesting, grabbing your ears tightly and not letting go. It remains one of my favorites to this day.
Note: This song had previously been posted in 2012 - as part of a larger post. It's important enough that it deserves its own treatment.
